Summary suspension.

(A)
If the
counselor, social worker, and marriage and family therapist board determines
that there is clear and convincing evidence that a person who has been granted
a license or registration under this chapter has committed an act that subjects
the person's license or registration with the board to action under section
4757.36 of the Revised Code and
that the person's continued practice presents a danger of immediate and serious
harm to the public, the board, or one of its professional standards committees,
may suspend the license without a prior hearing.

(B)
The board shall issue a written order of
suspension by certified mail or in person in accordance with section
119.07 of the Revised Code. The
order is not subject to suspension by the court during pendency of any appeal
filed under section 119.12 of the Revised Code. If
the person subject to the suspension requests an adjudication by the board, the
date set for the adjudication shall be within fifteen business days, but not
earlier than seven business days, after the request, unless otherwise agreed to
by both the board and the person subject to the suspension.

(C)
Any summary suspension imposed under this
section shall remain in effect, unless reversed on appeal, until a final
adjudication order issued by the board pursuant to section
4734.36 and Chapter 119. of the
Revised Code becomes effective. The board shall issue its final adjunctive
order within sixty days after completion of its adjudication. A failure to
issue the order within sixty days shall result in dissolution of the summary
suspension order but shall not invalidate any subsequent, final adjudicative
order.
